Here's a lovely gallery of old space-themed Rediplete "pediatric syrup" box-art. It's very Mary Blair-esque. Present and Correct notes that it is "via Flickr" but I can't locate a link on the site to the Flickr account where it was found -- if you know, please add to the comments so I can attribute correctly.

Update: this looks like it!, thanks, Uglyredhonda)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I read the headline as “Old Spice-themed”, which would be a very strange thing to bring to market.

    It really bothers me when people do things like put a “via Flickr”, as if that means anything without a link. It’s worse than if they had just not bothered to attempt an attribution.

      That’s like newscasts showing video labelled “via YouTube.”

    Sorry for the lack of link, I did think it was done. Flickr is very vague! It has been updated accordingly :-)
